How do I change the port for Unison?
 

I want to change the port ssh uses. I can successfully do this, but unison also depends on the same port so it cannot establish a connection. I cannot find a clear definition on how to do this. Has anyone successfully done so? Any information would be greatly appreciated; I use Debian. Thank you.

unison version and how was it installed please?

Hello,
I am using unison 2.32.52 installed via apt-get.

It's not clear to me how this is done using unison over ssh, Sorry.

discusses how various ssh components and/or arguments go together.

Seems rsync may be less problematic...?

The manual says:
You could add -p port there. Also it doesn't say this explicitly, but since it allows "ssh://username@remotehostname/a.tmp" maybe "ssh://username@remotehostname:port/a.tmp" would work too.

-sshargs xxx other arguments (if any) for remote shell command
